The question in this grievance is whether management violated the 1981 National Agreement when 274 post office boxes were added to Contract Station # 3. The union contend that the action resulted in bargaining unit work being contracted out in violation of articles 1 and 32. It is the position of the Postal Service that this grievance was untimely appealed to step 3 and is therefore denied. As to merit, we find no contractual violation as the action taken was in accord with the provisions of POM, Section 211.12.
